A truck lift gate has a platform which is raised and lowered on runners to which it is attached, and which are guided in vertical rails. The runners are lifted by flexible members such as chains or cables, and are lowered by their own weight when the flexible members are slacked off. An equalizer is carried by each runner which overhangs and contacts the top of the platform at an elevation relative to the horizontal which is respective to the platform when it is horizontal. Then the platform cannot tilt sidewise when it is lowered.
